Where to begin? I guess, I need to figure out what my body type is. I took an online test....I'm a pear. Other pears include Beyonce', Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Kim Kardasian...how in the world, is knowing that helpful!!
So, I googled..."I'm a fat pear, what do I wear?" Believe it or not, images came up. These are a few that I liked.
I really like the vintage styles too...

Pear shapes need to accent their tops to balance out their bottoms. Pears, even full figured pears, have a smaller waist and need to draw attention to their smallest area. Pears may wear fit and flare, pencil skirts, flirty bottoms in dresses and skirts. Pears should select dark blues, grays, blacks and browns in pants with a flare hem to draw attention away from their hips. Basically, a pear should enhance and minimize - we want to show the illusion of an hour glass shape.
Researching for this post, it became pretty clear to me that the outfits I tend to get the most compliments on, follow these rules. I have several items that don't follow the guidelines to accent my shape. I was planning to clean out my closet anyway, learning these tips will make it easier for me to do so. That will be my next step. And hey, I have some vintage high waisted "mom" jeans that just might end up on etsy!

To cute...I love them...have fun...
ReplyDeleteI'm a pear too and I don't think the fashions these days are made for us. So many clothes are all loose and flowy which is adorable but not really for us. We need to accent our waist with belts and perfect hemlines. The tunics that are so popular are adorable but make me look pregnant. My BFF wears them often with wide belts and it looks so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey - that is why I think I like the vintage styles so much.
